A perfect day in Greenwich
2008-06-05 20:10:00 Funny that today while pondering the cloudless blue sky, I thought of a day I spent in Greenwich while on a London vacation with my brother a couple of years ago. After checking my trip journal, it turns out I was in Greenwich exactly two years ago to the day. My day trip to Greenwich ...

Muslims say Mecca not Greenwich should be the source of the world´s time
2008-04-21 17:45:00 Muslim "scholars" have decided there is yet another way to implement their Global Caliphate. Insisting that "Mecca is the center of the world's land" they want to change the reference point for world time from Greenwich, England to... where else but Mecca. They have even invented the Mecca watch. Muslims balk at what they feel is the Western world inflicting Greenwich upon them. In fact these inbred thinking "scholars" even want to discard Western maps. More here and here.

Greenwich Village Sunday lunch
2008-03-12 04:14:00 There’s nothing more English than a proper roast meat & two veg Sunday lunch. And, unsurprisingly, they are thin on the ground in New York. Sure, ex-pat Village hangout Tea & Sympathy serves a roast for the outrageous price of $28, but it’s seriously sub-Wetherspoons*, and pretty much everywhere else does brunch on Sundays. Even the couscous joint, Café Mogador, across the road from me serves up plate upon plate of congealed looking eggs Benedict come the weekend. (Why, why do grown-ups insist on queuing to eat $12 plates of brunch eggs in restaurants that have nothing to with breakfast cookery?)I’m not a big fan of people who move countries and then spend their time yearning for the comforts of home, but I do miss the companionable ritual of Sunday lunch. So I cycled over to a Greenwich Village apartment for my first ever Manhattan Sunday lunch, unsurprisingly hosted by an English friend, but happily furnished with Americans.I did not cover myself in glory by rocking up an h...

limits of the loft form / 448 Greenwich St
2008-01-29 20:23:00 1,300 sq ft = 1 BRI touched yesterday on a beautiful little loft that - with only "1,100 sq ft" - is fit for no more than one couple, or even one person (minimal drop at minimal beauty / 8 West 13 Street drips) that had a price drop this weekend. I cam across another (relatively) small loft that has been on the market for a while that is limited by its shape to being only a 1 bedroom. 448 Greenwich Street 5th floor has been on the market since June, staring at $2.05mm but holding at $1.995mm since September. Said to be "1,300 sq ft", it is not quite big enough to be a One Bed Wonder, though it is suitable only for a 1 bedroom layout. squeezing + wedgingThe footprint is classic Long-and-Narrow, with the emphasis on narrow. At 17 feet narrow there is no way to squeeze 2 bedrooms in that back area, hemmed in as it is by the mechanicals and stairway on the long north side and by the bathrooms on the long south side. While there is an 'office' with a window ('office' is a room tit...

Catwalks whiter than Greenwich, CT

"Everyone is always talking about the weight issue, I think they should be talking about race." -Nigel Barker (swoon!), ANTM judge and fashion photographer I was saving my pennies for a YSL Tribute Slingbacks when I came across a Washington Post article in which Stefano Pilati, YSL creative director, stated that "Sometimes, it's not your choice. You can't find [black models] that are beautiful and with the right proportions. I prefer them with lean proportions with no big hips." Oh really? Well, my gut told me that this was totally B.S. so I went to models.com and searched for models in the state of NY, fashion mecca in this country. There are loads. I went through the first fifty models (5 clicks with 10 models so no intensive searching), weeding out black models that didn't meet the height (5'9"-6") and measur...

Greenwich Village Gunfight
2007-03-16 12:10:00 New York City is mourning the deaths of two volunteer police officers and a bartender in Greenwich Village on Wednesday night. I was leaving the East Village just after the shooting, following a quick dinner and house-sitting orientation at the apartment of one of my bosses. I'll be staying at her place to take care of her 18-year old cat tonight through Tuesday morning while she is at a conference in Los Angeles and her husband is out of town.I heard faint conversation on the train of a shooting that night as I rode the L across town and transferred to an uptown 1. By the time I got to my apartment in Harlem, it was breaking news. But the story continues to sadden as more details are released.The victims were young: Alfred Romaro was a 35-year-old Mexican immigrant following the American dream as a waiter and bartender; Yevgeniy Marshalik was a 19-year-old political science major at NYU and volunteer police officer; Nicholas T. Pekearo - also a volunteer police officer - was a 28-...
